Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of each cod fillet, ensuring they are fully coated in the seasoning.
Step 5
Bake the cod fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Remove the cod from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the seasoned baked cod with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
